I was incredibly honored to be asked to be one of the three Guests of Honor at the Glasgow SF World Con. That's the largest science fiction convention in the world, a moveable feast, held summer 2005 in Scotland. Part of the perks of being a World Con GOH, is that the convention produces a book of one's work--in my case stories, poems, and essays (with an Intro by Anne McCaffrey!) NESFA Press--the New England SF Assn--took on the job for the convention with the redoubtable Priscilla Olson heading up the team as editor. We discussed a variety of work, and the final count is 80+ pieces.
The cover is exquisite, a painting by Ruth Sanderson, which she showed me at a signing we attended together several months ago. All of the stories and essays are reprints, though a number of them are quite difficult to find. About four or five poems are having their first printing in this book, including one I wrote while at the Myth conference in Atlanta last year and the poem I wrote for the Michelson gallery opening this year. It was listed in Locus Magazine as New and Notable, which is an honor.
Book Artists is an online community of professional authors and illustrators committed to discussing our industry and craft of children's books in a private online environment with other talented professionals. The term "artist" applies to both illustrators and authors since we are all creating art with words and/or pictures.

It just got a starred review in Library Journal.
